TIMESYNC Restart Flag = value Control restarts of time synchronization.
Supported values: ON, OFF
Default: OFF
Set this parameter to ON only if you want to reload TIMESYNC
without rebooting the server.
TIMESYNC Service Advertising =
value
Control time source advertising.
Supported values:
ON = The single reference, reference, and primary time source
servers advertise using SAP
OFF = Use only if you are using a custom-configured list of time
sources
Default: ON
Note: Secondary time services do not advertise.
TIMESYNC Synchronization Radius
= number
Control the maximum time adjustment (in milliseconds) a server
is allowed while still being considered synchronized.
Supported values: 0 to 2147483647 milliseconds
Default: 2000
Increase this parameter to allow a wider margin of error for time
synchronization between servers.
Important: Lowering the synchronization radius increases the
chance of servers losing synchronization due to randomness
between clocks.
Setting the synchronization radius for under 2000 milliseconds (2
seconds) is not recommended.
Set the synchronization radius for under two seconds only if you
are using an application that uses synchronized time stamps
which do not tolerate a two-second deviation between time
sources.
